Default Road Glide windshield

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for a windshield. I like to look over the top of it rather than through it. I am 5'9" in height. currently running Klock Works 12" contoured windshield but finding it too turbulent in the upper head area (shakes my glasses). It was supposedly designed in the wind tunnel for smooth air flow, but whatever.
Any ideas other than going back to the stock 19"? There's gotta be a windshield with smoother air flow than this, thats a little shorter than stock. Not looking for full protection, just less turbualance if possible. Oh yeah, it's an '08
Thanks!

Alright! Thanks for the help people! Lotsa votes for the wind vest so I think I'll try one of those.
Thanks for the help!

There are several to choose from, Cee Baileys offers shields that are similar to the Klockwerks without the wind noise. I run a 15" euro Cee Baileys and I am very pleased with it.

I'm 6' and use a 14" wind vest. I wish I could get a 16". If you get the 14" light smoke you will be in heaven windwise and it'll look great.
